    Reactive Cybersecurity: Building the Plane Mid-Flight

    What happens when the nation’s top cybersecurity agency has to write its incident response playbook during an active high-severity breach? In this episode of The Other Side of the Firewall, hosts Ryan, Shannon, and Chris sit down with special guest Alfredzo Nash from Cyber Coffee Hour to dissect a sobering TechCrunch report. We break down the recent CISA incident where AWS GovCloud access keys were exposed on GitHub, forcing the agency into a reactive scramble. But this isn't just a story about a credential leak. We dive deep into the systemic root cause: the compounding risk of slashing cybersecurity budgets and understaffing critical defensive teams. We tackle our two core pillars—analyzing fast-breaking industry news and exploring the real-world human impact on cyber career journeys. Is your organization just a "near miss" away from a headline?
